1-Day Course
Single Implant Digital Workflow
Course overview:
This comprehensive course is designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to confidently plan and execute single implant procedures. The course covers digital planning and design, from initial case assessment to fabricating surgical guides, healing abutments, provisional crowns and temporaries. Participants will have the opportunity to bring their own cases and receive personalised guidance throughout the process.
Course outline
Hands-On Surgical Guide Design (Wizard Mode) with Blue Sky Plan
Learn how to efficiently create surgical guides using the user-friendly wizard mode in Blue Sky Plan. This session is designed to simplify the guide design process, ensuring accuracy while streamlining workflow for straightforward cases.
Dive into the advanced mode of Blue Sky Plan to design more complex surgical guides. This hands-on session covers advanced features and customisation options, allowing you to tackle challenging cases with precision.
Refine your skills by practicing surgical guide design for both anterior and posterior teeth. This session emphasises the nuances of guide placement and design adjustments based on the anatomical differences between these areas.
Gain practical experience in preparing and executing the 3D printing of surgical guides. You’ll learn how to optimise print settings and material selection to produce durable, precise guides ready for clinical use.
Explore the process of designing single provisional implant crowns using digital tools. This session focuses on achieving both aesthetic and functional outcomes that can be immediately placed following implant surgery.
Master the nesting process to arrange your surgical guides and provisional crowns efficiently within the print bed. This hands-on practice ensures you maximise material use and reduce print times, enhancing overall productivity.
Learn the finishing techniques needed to prepare your 3D-printed surgical guides and provisional crowns for clinical use. This session covers post-processing steps, including smoothing, polishing, and sterilisation, ensuring your guides and crowns meet the quality standards.
Skill enhancement:
Ideal for those seeking to refine single implant techniques, with prerequisite knowledge of implant dentistry and digital workflow.
Case participation:
Bring your own cases for personalised guidance from Dr. Justina Teo, fostering practical skills directly relevant to your practice.
CE credit eligibility:
Course completion and passing of assessments grant Continuing Education (CE) credits, acknowledging professional development.
Milled Monolithic Single Y Zirconia
The original zirconia block was 25mm tall. After milling directly from the block and removing the attachment point (sprue), the surface was given a minimal texturing and then glazed.
These prosthetics was created to test the milling capabilities of the machine. The focus was on how well the mill could handle a complex design with minimal post-processing.
